Topic: SakuraCon 2013 (Read 37565 times)

I want to go. I'm planning on getting a hotel by myself and driving up there if all works out. I reallly want to go this year, so Ima pre-order my badge and save money for my hotel and gas as we proceed to the Seattle convention <3

Sakura Con is my home con, seeing as I live about twenty minutes away from the convention center. This year, everything depends on how my EMT-B course is laid out and if I'll have time from work and school to go.. --If I do get to go, I'll cosplay Momiji from Fruits Basket, Romeo form Romeo x Juliet, Meilin from Cardcaptor Sakura, Peter White from Alice in the Country of Hearts, and Hitsugaya from Bleach.

I am most likely going, since I won't be able to go on my mission's trip this year (D=). I will be going with a group of my otaku friends from my youth group and cosplay-wise, my biggest plan is a human Nyan Cat at the moment. Hope to see y'all there!!! C:

Good News and Bad News.Bad news is I can't go to Kumoricon the whole weekend because of costs and drivers ed.

GOOD NEWS is that if I can raise enough money I can go for Saturday all day as Espurr (Pokemon X/Y)Hope to see you all then! <3

well seeing as im hooked on cons now, i might make it out there. How friendly are they to non anime cosplays?

Even though I have only cosplayed from ANIMES at both times I went to Sakuracon, I've seen quite a number of non-anime cosplays (considering Sakuracon's freaking HUGE.) so You SHOULD be fine c: (Plus my main cosplay plan is a non-anime cosplay and I'm 100% confident about it.)

Just a note about cosplaying non-anime characters to an Anime convention: Unless stated (which will never happen), the con is welcoming to all types of cosplay as long as they follow the rules. But there will always be those people who think that you're stupid and hate you for being a non-anime character. While there will be plenty who will love you for just cosplaying!

I have Sakuracon written down in my calendar as attending it... I'd like to say "yes, no problem!" and that I'd be attending, but unlike past years this is a very touchy year So.... We'll see. Hopefully, I can go~

I'm probably going to go. And I'm planning to bring Otaku 25 and older again as well as (If all goes accordingly) a variation on Bedtime Stories. If Sakuracon gives me the green light on this idea more details will be forthcoming.

As long as I keep my grades up, Which I will, and my friend follows through with her half, I am going!I'll be Red/Lost Silver Red from Pokemon, Princess Luna from My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic, and a Chocobo from Final Fantasy. Jason I will hunt you down when you are Chocobo Head and if it is okay with you take some photos with you.

You said you will hunt me down when "I'm chocobo head". I hope you mean when I'm ac cloud..because I'm not doing anything chocobo..or even ff other then that..and I may not even do that..maybe only for the ff shoot..but that's it

I'm a huge maybe for this...I'm planning on going to ECCC which is the beginning of March, so it will highly depend on if I get a steady job and can save up enough soon enough to know if I can afford both.

But if I end up going, I'd be bringing Ice King, my Turret gijinka and probably Giriko (Soul Eater) and maybe one of my KH characters *shrug*

i am going all 3 dayscosplays will be : day1- hetalia russia- KAITO vocaloidday2- Dave strider homestuck- hetalia prussiaday3- one of the above

panels i will be running(if accepted): Prussias playtime-(panelists cosplay- prussia germany femprussia femgermany england and america) this is improv games with audience participation anyone is welcome!homestuck dating game-(panelists cosplay- dave strider karkat vantas kanaya maryam) we'll be having it like a dating game(improv not actual dating) based around the quadrents it'll be real fun, once again anyones welcome.

No clue....I'm the one that started the thread for it on the scmb and I was trying for Friday at 1. That's the time it was last year..someone said it usually happens the same runs every year .but since they aren't put on the schedule, It's whatever I guess..

scmb? I might be on my way up to seatle, due to school right then. At Kcon we usually have two shoots, mayb e we should do that

lol that's the short version of saying Sakura Con Message Boards..Well, I don't know about 2 shoots..I don't know how that all works..I mean we can try to have another one, but I doubt it..All the final fantasy people going to one won't show up for the other so one of them will be very VERY small

Jason, smaller shoot are sometimes better. Last kcon things got out of hand with the larger shoots. The Silent Hill shoot had 8 people and it was so smooth.

Oh..Yea see, since I don't know how shoots work in this con I can't say much, But I know for SC the FF shoot was pretty big, and usually at teh same time every year because they have a thread up that says what shoots are when, and even though it's not on the schedule, the info booth has the info where they are held and all. So that area (as well as all the other areas) are usually being used at all times so a second one won't fit unless it's an unofficial where it's like out in the park or something

Hey folks on the subject of Sakuracon, an idea of mine for it is a variation of Bedtime Stories. Here's the thing, I need some help. I'm looking for someone who'd be willing to join me as a co-panelist/reader and if possible somebody who knows their way around laptop computers. Since I'm legally blind I think for this it would definitely be wise if I had help from someone with better vision. So, if anyone is interested in joining me as a co-panelist please PM me or let me know here.

Oh and also if anyone going to Sakuracon happens to be a fanfiction or original fiction writer is interested in showing off their work at my panel please let me know. This is like Bedtime Stories but I intend to run more of a tight ship here.

There will be some rules though:

1. PG-13 rated at worst.

2. Nothing that's in the Sakuracon 2013 fanfic contest please. This is out of respect for the contest.

3. Check for spelling and grammar. Nothing makes a story harder to read than bad grammar and spelling.

Please let me know quickly because the due date for submitting panel is midnight January 1st. And you'd be surprised at how fast time goes by.

Most of the time we post them here and then spread the word. We tried one year to have photoshoot info at the booth and I don't think it worked really. Since most photoshoots are out in the park across the street they are somewhat unofficial or can easily be mixed up. There was a lack of communication this year where two people planed two different shoots for the same series and they got mixed up.

See when you say "we post them here" itt makes me think you're talking about photoshoots for Kumori..Since I don't know how this con runs shoots I can't say 2 of the same would be bad, but since all of the areas in SC are used ALL the time, it's very difficult..

Hey evryone got an update for you. A good friend of mine from FF.net who happens to live in the Seattle area and is planning to attend Sakuracon has agreed to be my co-panelist the idea I have in mind. However I'm still looking for some good fanfic and original fic writers for my panel.

Oh and there are a couple rules I'm adding.

4. Nothing over a maxiumum of 10 pages please.

5. Send your story as a attachment in doc file form. This is in case the Internet goes kaput.

**UPDATE** I will be going. If I can find my wig to my Nyan Cat cosplay that I used for Akicon, I'll be Nyan Cat for Day 1 and FEM!11th Doctor for Day 2. Otherwise, I'll be The Doctor for the whole weekend (not Sunday, however, since it is Easter)
